In a recent event a thread necromancer decided to put in his two cents on how "rap is not music" [link] (My response along with others is below)
and his response sent to me in a note:
1. Haha, I said musician, not pop-rock cock singer. Real musicians, with real instruments. Nice guesswork.
2. The first rap features "shit" and "bitch" both, and lyrics to the second I cannot find.
3. Nice job. You like music other than rap. I guess you win.
All you did here was prove your own stupidity, and the stupidity of rap. Nice trying to call me an idiot while misspelling RYTHYM and GENERALIZE.
I made no move against poetry, or rythym, which you claim I am ignorant to. Rap, swearing and rhyming to a beat, cannot be called poetry anyways, and you can hardly use the word rythym with it. Beat fits much more.
I said rap is not MUSIC, and it is not. There are no instruments, because yes, the uneducated morons who rap cannot play instruments, and so they use whatever they can. They do not appreciate music either, which is why they do what they do.
So yes, you've proved rap is not music at all, merely a beat and talking, along with 1. No respectable MUSICIAN raps, 2. Rap rarely talks (not sings) of good things, and can never present them beautifully, and 3. That you aren't some gangmember living ignorantly in a modernized city. Though you did however prove that you are both ignorant and an idiot, to music and your own favorite sound entertainment.
Oh and uh, nice to see you're old and stupid, not young and stupid. Liking music that no one else your age likes, because they know it's music.
tl;dr "rap is not music bbbaawww, you're old and stupid"
The Discussion that is the deadhorse: what is your opinion on music that IS hip-hop and RAP?
